Mount Windows shares

Very good example how to make vagrant plugin for CIFS: psi/vagrant-zfs · GitHub

You need mount “/srv/vagrant-on-windows” do device “//192.168.7.1/vagrant-on-windows” fstype “cifs” options “guest,rw,exec,noperm,nocase,noserverino,uid=1000,gid=1000” action :mount end

Mount options used: rw: mount read-write guest: don’t prompt for a password noperm: Client does not do permission checks nocase: Case insensitive path name matching noserverino: Client generates inode numbers (rather than using the actual one from the server) uid, gid: Files and dirs will appear to be owned by vagrant user
